Baby, baby, sweet baby There's something that I've just got to say Baby, baby, sweet baby You left me hurtin' in a real cold way Speak your name and I feel a thrill You said I do, sure thing, and I said I will I told you to just be true And give me just a little time Wait on me, baby I want you to be all o' mine I've just been so blue Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) Since you've been gone I've been missin' you Miss your good love Miss your kissin' too What a shame, why'd you do that Why'd you tip on me? Come home, bring your love back now To rescue me, Uh Huh Baby, baby, sweet baby (sweet, sweet baby) I didn't mean to run you away It was pride on my lips But not in my heart To say the things that made you stray And I mean Hear me now (hear me) I don't know what I'm gonna do (hear me) Gotta get you back somehow (hear me now) And all I know is if ya Take me back Consider me, please If you walk in that door I can get you off my knees And I've just been so blue Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) Since you've been gone (why'd ya do it, why'd ya have to do it) ADLIB AND FADE
